"The 13 grape varieties of Châteauneuf!"

“On the first sniff, the notes of vanilla and baking spices in this 2018 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Privilège blend with hints of red plums and black olives. Aged in 30% new oak barrels, the wine is full-bodied and supple, with a creamy texture and a velvety finish. Ready to drink now and for at least another 5 to 7 years.” (Wine Advocate) All orders of 6 bottles of this wine will be shipped in a wooden case (excluding pickup at a pickup point)

Wine rated (2021 guide) 92/100

About the wine:

Aged 12 to 18 months in oak barrels, this Grenache-dominant blend (enhanced by smaller proportions of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault) offers concentrated aromas of blackberry jam and dried plums. Full-bodied yet fresh and well-balanced, the velvety flavors of black fruit are tempered by earthy notes of granite, dried sage, and Arctic char. Ready to drink now.

About the wine:

The aromas and flavors of sweet berries and meat display both balance and intensity. It is not overpowering. Full-bodied yet fresh, with multi-layered tannins. Earthy and dried-fruit aromas come through on the finish.
